Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location. Clean rooms . Love this hotel"

Lone Oak Lodge

6/10 Okay

"The property was clean the bed was comfortable but squeaked loudly. There was a super bright light right outside our window and the wooden shutters were loose so it was bright all night. We had a large whirlpool tub which was awesome and the water was a pretty clear blue color. Oddly though it left a weird orange ring in the tub....2 different bathers... possibly from their hotel mango shampoo in the lines? Fridge was nice.. never got turned on so food ruined.. I should have checked..AC was loud. Marginal stay could have been better.... Will do in a pinch. Assigned free parking also a bonus."
